Ingredients

Scale

French Toast Batter

  • 2 Eggs
  • ½ cup Milk
  • ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 Loaf Canyon Bakehouse Heritage White Bread
  • ¼ cup Butter

Suggested Toppings

  • Maple Syrup
  • Mandolin-sliced Apples
  • Pecans
  • Cinnamon Granola

Instructions

  1. Prepare the batter: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg until well combined to create a fragrant, spiced custard base for the French toast.
  2. Heat the skillet: Warm a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter to coat the cooking surface, ready for the bread slices.
  3. Dip the bread slices: Working one at a time, dip each slice of Canyon Bakehouse Heritage White Bread into the egg batter, coating both sides evenly to absorb the flavors.
  4. Cook the French toast: Place the coated bread slices onto the hot skillet. Cook each side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown, flipping midway to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
  5. Assemble and serve: Arrange the cooked French toast on serving plates and top with mandolin-sliced apples, pecans, and cinnamon granola as desired. Finish with a generous drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

  • Use fresh bread as day-old bread may absorb too much batter and become soggy.
  • Adjust cooking heat to prevent burning the French toast while ensuring it cooks through.
  • Optional toppings can be customized to your preference such as adding whipped cream or fresh berries.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute almond milk or any plant-based milk in the batter.
  • Be cautious with cinnamon granola topping if serving to those with nut allergies.
